Baby Chick 2 cotton balls In a cup, pour 1/4 cup water and 6 or 7 drops of yellow food coloring.

Either cut out a small triangle from the orange construction paper or cut a pipe cleaner into one-1/2 inch piece and bend the piece in half to make an open beak. Glue the beak on below the eyes. We put the chick in the photo in a clean, empty egg shell for decoration. These bird crafts are so cute!
